Book Description
One of the world's best known satires, CANDIDE refutes the optimistic but shallow "All's for the best in this best of all possible worlds." Candide's tutor, the philosophic Dr. Pangloss, embodies this creed, maintaining it in spite of all evidence to the contrary. A standard entry in world literature courses, CANDIDE is as funny and absurd today as when it was written more than 200 years ago.

I read this on the beach in Cape May. A girl I was seeing at the time was with me. She related later that she had shared with her mother what I was reading. According to the mother, "Any boy who reads Candide in his spare time is a keeper."
We did not last.
